The difference between recalculated performance funding and net FY2025 performance funding disbursements to date is the Projected Settle-Up Adjustment, which is an input to FY2026 funding as reflected in the FY2026 Final Funding Model and Final Funding Runs above.

The stakeholder guide is a companion tool for the FY26 performance tier foundation forecasting program.
